What Is Vitamin A?

Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin that plays a vital role in many bodily functions. It comes in two main forms: preformed vitamin A (retinol) from animal sources like fish liver oil, and provitamin A carotenoids (such as beta-carotene) from plants. Retinol is directly usable by the body, making it highly bioavailable. Vital Nutrients Vitamin A provides retinol – the form your body can use immediately – for reliable support.

How Much Vitamin A Do You Need?

Health Canada recommends adult men consume 900 mcg RAE of vitamin A daily, and women 700 mcg RAE. The tolerable upper intake level (UL) for preformed vitamin A is 3000 mcg RAE (10,000 IU) per day. At 7500 mcg RAE per serving, this supplement exceeds the RDA but remains below the UL. Always consult a health-care practitioner before taking high-dose vitamin A, especially if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have liver disease. Always read the label and follow directions for use.

Vitamin A Benefits

Vitamin A supports several key areas of health, backed by scientific research:

• Supports Healthy Vision: It is a component of rhodopsin, a protein in the eyes that helps you see in low light, and helps maintain the cornea and other eye tissues.
• Promotes Immune Function: Vitamin A maintains the integrity of mucous membranes in the respiratory, digestive, and urinary tracts, helping defend against pathogens.
• Maintains Healthy Skin: It supports cell production and turnover for smooth, resilient skin and plays a role in sebum production to keep skin moisturised.
• Cellular Health: As an antioxidant, vitamin A neutralizes free radicals, supporting cellular integrity and overall health.

Types of Vitamin A: Retinol vs. Beta-Carotene

Choosing between retinol and beta-carotene matters. Retinol, the form in Vital Nutrients Vitamin A, is preformed and immediately usable. Beta-carotene from plants must be converted into retinol – a process that varies individually due to genetics and gut health. For reliable, high-dose supplementation, retinol from fish liver oil is an effective choice. Each capsule provides 7500 mcg RAE, equivalent to 25,000 IU of vitamin A.

Potential Side Effects and Safety

Vitamin A is safe at recommended doses, but because it is fat-soluble, excess can accumulate and cause toxicity. Hypervitaminosis A symptoms include nausea, dizziness, headache, and in severe cases, liver damage. Do not exceed the recommended dose. Avoid taking additional vitamin A supplements while using this product unless directed by a doctor. Pregnant women should not take high-dose vitamin A due to risk of birth defects. Always consult a health-care practitioner before starting a new supplement.
